Moneywise Financial Advisers Mis-Sold Pension Claim
Located in Buckie, Scotland, Moneywise Financial Advisers Ltd is an IFA that no longer has IFA permissions to assist clients with some varieties of pensions.
If you’ve been following reports on the UK pensions industry, you probably already know that these IFA restrictions have to do with SIPPs, an extremely controversial type of investment.
What kind of impact does this have on people that have transferred their pension to Moneywise Financial Advisers Ltd? Why is this happening now? What should your next step be?
To start, it’s important to look at the restrictions that have been placed on Moneywise by the Financial Conduct Authority.
The firm can no longer:
Participate in regulated activities regarding pension transfers and switches to any type of self-invested personal pension scheme. This includes completing pipeline businesses, unless the funds of the member are exclusively being placed in standard investments.
This means that Moneywise is not authorized to transfer personal pensions of any type into a SIPP pension scheme focused on standard investments.
The word “pipeline” refers to any transfers that are partially completed. These transfers won’t be able to complete.
Non-Standard SIPP Investments and Moneywise
The term “non-standard investments” describes all investments that aren’t regulated by the FCA. It’s important to be aware of this if you’ve invested with Moneywise.
Because these investments are classified as high-risk, there is no type of protection or compensation from either the FSCS or the Ombudsman is there’s an issue with the investments. This includes cases of liquidation or fraud.
